Psalm 31:10
Douay-Rheims
Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
Augustine of Hippo
"Many are the scourges of the sinner:" much is he scourged, who, confessing not his sins to God, would be his own ruler. "But he that trusts in the Lord, mercy compasses him about" [Psalm 32:10]; but he that trusts in the Lord, and submits himself to His rule, mercy shall compass him about.
